Is Cowboy Action Shooting LARPing?

One one hand, you have to wear a (goofy, IMO) costume.

On the other hand, you're using real guns :).

It just so happens that this fine, matched pair of Rugers is on the approved list for modern SA revolvers. The one on top is the Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 mangum, the bottom is a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in .45 Long Colt.
